In the article written in sciencedaily.com, science studies have shown that High Schools that start only one hour later are less likely to have teens fall asleep behind the wheel. When classes were starting an hour later students were averaging around 12-30 more minutes of sleep. In 1999, over 1,000 teens had automobile accidents either before or after school. With school starting later, the crashes were reduced greatly. Studies show that adolescents as they are becoming older tend to stay up later as well, causing more issues in the morning.
